What pet owners can do

Here are some steps pet owners can take to ensure that their pet's specialised needs are met at AQC:

• Bring bedding and toys to make your pet comfortable.  AQC does not take responsibility for any items brought into or left at the station.
• If your pet requires medication during its stay, please indicate this during the QMS application. AQC staff will only administer medication with the prescription and instructions from your attending veterinarian.
• Walk your dog in AQC’s exercise field. Owners are given 15 minutes during visiting hours to use the exercise field. Slots are available on a first come, first served basis.  You can book the field on the day of your visit. Use of the field is free of charge.
• Bring your own grooming equipment to clean and groom your pet in AQC’s grooming room. AQC does not provide grooming or bathing services. The use of the grooming rooms is free of charge, but you are required to make a booking first. Owners are given 30 minutes to use these grooming rooms. Make a booking for a grooming room at least two days in advance by approaching our staff at the AQC reception counter during visiting days.
